I say y'all a lot, and was in girl scouts my whole "child"hood I wa sborn in San Antonio and raised where I am now. I've seen a lot of Texas, and most of those "you know you're from Texas when..." stereotypes are true. Not in my immediate area, I think we are the descendants of leftovers from some hippie commune or something, because we hardly fit any stereotypes.

I've been told I look a lot like my ,mom's dad's mom who aparently "had a good grade of hair" like me [black folk's thing] and "the spice was in her hand" like me. Which I guess means she had long straight-ish hair and liked to cook. But most people around here are fairly new to the whole "Texas scene" so I'm not even sure what the stereotypes are (except the ones I look up online)

What stereotyes annoy you the most?

That one's for Ianto. Risen Mitten, Life Knife, and that old classic...Stun Gun.

The stereotype that annoys me most is that people think if you're from California that you're ana. a valley girlb. a surferc. hippie tree huggerd. liberale. movie star and sometimes all of the above. I'm not any of those things, yet here I am born and raised in California. There are definitely those people here in CA, but not where I live.

I know! I'm from California too and people thinks that I live near the beach in a penthouse. Whenever someone from another state or something the first thing they ask is, "Oh do you surf a lot?". It is really annoying cause I live in the foothills but everyone thinks that all California people are beach bum hippie people.

I'm from Georgia, and when I went to New York, my boyfriend's brother says "you all are mad racist down there, right???" I was like "OHMAN.... I hope not everyone thinks of us like that!!!" (we don't all have super southern accents, either.... although I know a lot of people who have southern accents, I know quite a few people who dont)

one thing though... it sounds like most of the stereotypes that we've come to accept about different countries, and regions have been created by the "hollywood image" of these places! >_< I would love to travel more, to be able to see everything for myself
